The Prime Minister Hon. Lord Fakafanua held today 17th August 2026, a Press Conference with the media at St. George Building. Amanda Vaipulu went to attend, representing Tonga Chronicle. She was told to wait at a room while they check if she is to enter the Press Conference. After a few minutes, she was told that she is being denied access and notification will be send by email tomorrow. This is in addition to 88.1FM People’s Radio’s denying of access to the Prime Minister’s Press Conference last week and still no written nor verbal notification has been received from the Prime Minister’s Office.
